Exhausted! I currently have 78 people's names and room numbers to memorize, and I'm not nearly there yet. I spent most of my time so far behind, I thought I was in first place! I slept for 12 hours this morning and could probably have slept more :D I'm also pretty happy with it so far! Next week I get to go solo, and I'm worried about getting behind and leaving stuff for the next shift...I still don't know where everyone and everything is...but I will get there. Shifts are (usually) only 4 or 5 hours long, and I'm kept so busy (chatting with a legend about horse driving counts as 'busy' too :D) that blink and a shift is done. I think the 15 minute drive home takes longer than a 4 hour shift LOL. I'm still guardedly optimistic, but optimism is still winning :D

More pics tomorrow.

HAHAHA! There's a family member or two I felt/feel the same way about. Suck the energy right out of you. Poison people have no place in my life, whether I'm related to them or not. Cheers Bert, and get those pictures up!!

Totally understand what you are talking about.....sometimes it seems like "non-chicken obsessed spouses" are naive - THANK GAWD!!!!

The trick is not to let him count when it's his turn to do chores (if most of them are loose in the barn like now, it's impossible to count them), and never count yourself, that way if asked I'm not really lying if I say it looks like the same amount as last year even though I know it's probably more than double. New project birds and all. Once the freezer camp males are gone and everybody is separated for breeding, then *maybe* I'll count.

We are currently going through the "can we keep him?" phase with spouse, oh and "but he's so pretty"! with my remaining 3 mutt roosters. They are currently having pissing contests with Chunky through the wire!

Yes that's the very reason why I have so many roosters in the freezer camp pen. But it's different when HE wants to keep them, I guess my birds eat more or something LOL
